What happens

Fair to Midland was an American alternative metal band based in Texas. They produced two self-released albums before signing to Serjical Strike Records, Serj Tankian's vanity label at Universal Republic. There, they released their only major record label album, Fables from a Mayfly, in 2007. While the album broke into the Billboard 200, they eventually parted ways with Serjical Strike and later released their fourth album Arrows and Anchors in July 2011. Tentative plans for a fifth album had been discussed at the end of the Arrows and Anchors touring cycle, but the band became inactive in 2013. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
